When players first begin their journey into the forbidden west, they’ll mainly be using Common and Uncommon weapons. As the story progresses though, they’ll gradually gain access to Legendary weapons, which, as the name might suggest, are the best weapons in Horizon Forbidden West. As well as having higher stats than their non-Legendary counterparts, each one boasts four or five perks and can be equipped with as many as five coils once it’s been fully upgraded.

Updated June 11, 2022, by Tom Bowen: There were plenty of big announcements at Sony’s recent State of Play event, including ones for several exciting new games and remakes. One of the more understated pieces of news was perhaps the New Game+ mode for Horizon Forbidden West, which went live shortly after the event courtesy of the game’s 1.14 update. As well as several new dyes and face paints and a brand-new ultra hard difficulty setting, the update brings with it eight powerful new weapons that are exclusive to New Game+ mode, bringing the total number of Legendary weapons in Horizon Forbidden West up to a mighty 17. Those hoping to get their hands on all of these weapons would do well to check out this guide, which has been updated to include information on how to unlock the eight new Legendary weapons in Horizon Forbidden West.

Legendary Weapons in Horizon Forbidden West’s New Game+ Mode

In addition to the nine Legendary weapons that are available in a regular playthrough of the game, Horizon Forbidden West players tackling the main story on New Game+ mode can also get their hands on eight additional Legendary weapons. To do so, they’ll first need to earn themselves some Champion Tokens, which are a new type of currency exclusive to New Game+ mode. Aloy will unlock these tokens by completing main story missions, side quests, and other tasks and can then use them to purchase Horizon Forbidden West’s new Legendary weapons from any weapon merchant.

Horizon Forbidden West is available now on PS4 and PS5.
